NATION'S SOLONS MEET Second and Last Session of Fifty-Eighth Congress Convened at Washington. Flowers and Fair Women Added Luster to the Occasion—Opening Session Very Brief. A Washington special says: With the senate in session thirteen minutes and the house fifty-three minutes, the last session of the fifty-eighth congress was assembled Monday at noon. The time of both bodies was devoted entirely to the usual formalities of opening day. There were the greetings between members the great floral display, and the hundreds of visitors, with beautifully gowned women predominating, corridors, committee rooms were thronged. The bustle extended even to the floors of the chambers. The gavels of Senator Frye, president pro tem, of the senate, and Spenker Cannon, of the house, fell exactly at 12 o'clock. The opening prayers were made by the chaplains, Rev. Edward Everett Hale, D. D., in the senate and Rev. H. N. Couden, in the house. In both house and senate committees were appointed to wait on the president to inform him that congress was ready to receive any communication he had to send. Resolutions of respect to the memory of the late Senator Hoar, of Massachusetts, and Senator Quay, of Pennsylvania were adopted by both houses, and the objections taken were in further tribute to their memory. The only business outside of the usual first-day routine was the adoption of a resolution in the house extending until January 5, 1905, the time within which the merchant marine commission may make its report. The opening was under the usual interesting conditions and amid those scenes that for years have made the re-assembling of congress among the notable events of the country. Hundreds of sightseers thronged the corridors and crowded into the galleries to witness the formal proceedings From one end of the capitol building to the other busy tread of statesmen and the flutter of femininity distinguished the occasion from any other in the official or social calendar of the year. From the lethargy which has characterized Washington since early in the spring, the city awakened to a new era and heralded with apparent joy the day which opens both the official and social seasons. Many newly-elected members were at the capital, although they will not enter office until after March 4th. A particularly sad feature of the reassembling was the absence of kindly faces grown old in the service of the country. The galleries, rather than the floor, proved the center of attraction, for rows upon rows of handsomely gowned women looked down upon the statesmen who grouped about the chamber or strolled in and out of the cloak rooms to exchange greetings with old friends or to recognize new ones. Many members of both bodies were flooded with reminiscences in the form of floral pieces and the chambers presented an appearance which they never know on any other occasion. Baskets and clusters of bright roses, chrysanthemums and other fall flowers covered the desks. Though rain and sleet fell during the entire morning, these discomforts were insufficient to mar the success of the event. For an hour or more preceding the calling of the house to order by Speaker Cannon, the members stowly filed into the chamber and exchanged DEATH CLAIMS TYNER. Former Postmaster General and National Lawmaker Go to Rest. James Noble Tyner, of Indiana, once postmaster general and at various times member of the Indiana senate and in congress, first and second assistant postmaster general and assistant attorney general for the postoffice department, died of paralysis at his home in Washington Monday. He was 78 years old. Mr. Tyner was stricken with paralysis in July, 1902, and was never after that able to actively discharge his official duties. The SOLONS MEET Session of Fifty-Eighth ned at Washington. greetings. Some came in for hearty congratulations, while others received the sneeze regrets of colleagues, who on account of their mistrust at the polls were meeting together for possibly the last time. The republicans, fresh from their recent victory, gathered in groups and talked over the late campaign, while their democratic brethren gave no outward sign of having suffered defeat. Men of both parties freely intermingled and discussed the issues of the last election and its results, the democrats good naturely taking the thrusts and gibes heaped upon them in friendly conversation by their victorious opponents. Good fellowship prevailed throughout. IN THE SENATE. the senate convened promptly at noon. The first senator in his seat was Mr. Platt, of New York. Long before 12 o'clock the galleries were filled, but the buzz of conversation ceased abruptly when President Pro Tem Frye's gave fell. Rev. Edward Everett Hale, D. B. chaplain of the senate, offered prayer. Two seats had been vacated by death—those of Senator Hoar, of Massachusetts, and Quay, of Pennsylvania. Many eyes were turned sorrowfully toward the desks so long occupied by these men, who had grown old in the public service. Their successors, Senators-elect Crane, of Massachusetts, and Knox, of Pennsylvania, attended the session, but they will not occupy the seats assigned them until they are formally sworn in. The floral decorations were equal to those of any session in the history of the senate. Many desks were overflowing with the offerings, and the senate force was occupied from 11 until 12 o'clock in arranging them so senators could take their seats. The largest single tribute was placed on the desk of Senator Tillman, of South Carolina. When Senator Fairbanks, the vice president-elect entered the chamber he was greeted warmly by many of his colleagues. The visitors applauded his entrance with cheers and hand-clapping. After prayer the roll was called and seventy-three senators responded. Then the flowers were removed and the routine business of the session opened. At 12:13 the body adjourned, having been in session just thirteen minutes. This will be the short session of the fifty-eighth congress and a notably interesting one, for with the inauguration of President Roosevelt the session will go out in a blaze of glory. Only once in four years does congress have an opportunity to wind up its affairs under the historic conditions which will prevail next March. ESTIMATES OF APPROPRIATIONS. JAPS BOMBARD FLEET. Shoiling of Ships in Harbor at Port Arthur Proceeds Satisfactorily. It is reported in Tokio that the Japanese bombardment against the fleet at Port Arthur is proceeding to the satisfaction of the attacking forces. On the evening of the 4th instant (Sunday) two or three Russian ships were fired and burned in half an hour. Their names and the extent of the damage done are not known. It is generally beloved that, the Russian fleet must either make an early sortie or suffer irreparable damage. ANNUALMESSAGE Usual Document Read in Both flouses HIS SUGGESTIONS ON LEGISLATION The President Makes Strong Recommendations Concerning Capital and Labor, Foreign Affairs, Army and Navy, Commerce and Other Subjects That Will Come Before Congress. Following is the substance of the annual message of President Roosevelt, read in both Houses of Congress: To the Senate and House of Represen- tation. The Nation continues to enjoy noteworthy prosperity. Such prosperity is of course primarily due to the high individual average of our citizens' skill together with our great natural resources; but an important factor therein is the working of our long-continued governmental policies. The people have emphatically expressed their approval of the principles underlying these policies, and their desire that these principles be kept substantially unchanged, although of course applied in progressive spirit to meet changing conditions. CAUTION AGAINST EXTRAVA- GANCE; The enlargement of scope of the functions of the National Government required by our development as a nation involves, of course, increase of expense; and the period of prosperity through which the country is passing justifier expenditures for permanent improvements far greater than would be wise in hard times. Battle ships and forts, public buildings, and improved waterways are investments which should be made when we have the money; but abundant revenues and a large surplus always invite extravagance, and constant care should be taken to guard against unnecessary increase of the ordinary expenses of government. The cost of doing Government business should be regulated with the same rigid scrutiny as the cost of doing a private business. CAPITAL AND LABOR In the vast and complicated mechanism of our modern civilized life the dominance of the is the note of industrialism; and the relations of capital and labor, and especially of organized capital and organized labor, to each other and to the public at large come second in importance only. Our latimate questions of family life. Our peculiar form of government, with its large division of authority between the Nation and the several States, has been on the whole far more advantageous to our development than a more strongly centralized government. But it is undoubtedly responsible for much of the difficulty of meeting with adequate legislation the new problems presented by the total change in Industrial conditions on this continent during the last half century. In actual practice it has proved exceedingly difficult, and in many cases impossible, to get unanimity of wise action among the various States on these subjects. From the very nature of the case this is especially true of the laws affecting the employment of capital in huge masses. EMPLOYERS' LIABILITY LAW. ERS LIABILITY LAW. The subject of liability of employers comes in for a lengthy paragraph of the message. It is argued that persons or corporations using labor should use every means possible to protect employees. PREVENTION.OF RAILROAD ACCIDENTS. The ever-increasing casualty list upon our railroads is a matter of grave public concern, and urgently calls for action by the Congress. In the matter of speed and comfort of railway travel our railroads give at least as good service as those of any other nation, and there is no reason why this service should not also be as safe as human ingenuity can make it. Many of our leading roads have been foremost in the adoption of the most approved safeguards for the protection of travelers and employees, yet the list of clearly avoidable accidents continues unduly large. In order to improve the adoption of a blockslim system, has been proposed to the Congress. I earnestly concur in that recommendation, and would also point out to the Congress the urgent need of legislation in the interest of the public safety limiting the hours of labor for railroad employees in train service upon railroads engaged in interstate commerce, and providing that only trained and experienced persons be employed in positions of responsibility connected with the operation of trains. Of course nothing can over prevent accidents caused by human weakness, miscommunication and there should be drastic punishment for any railroad employee, whether officer or man, by by issuance of wrong orders or by disobedience of orders causes disaster. The law of 1801, requiring Interstate railroads to make monthly reports of all accidents to passengers and employees on duty, should also be amended so as to empower the Government to make a personal investigation, through proper officers, of all accidents involving loss of life which seem to require investigation, with a requirement that the result of such investigation be made public. UNIONS OF GOVERNMENT, EMPLOYEES: On the subject of organized labor the President declares, that all people have a perfect right to organize for their protection, but that the Government cannot discriminate against nonunion laborers. BUREAU OF LABOR Michigan has by the Government in labor matters directly by giving publicity to certain conditions. The Bureau of Labor has done excellent work of this kind in many different directions. I shall shortly lay before you in a special message the full report of the investigation of the Bureau of Labor into the Colorado mining strike, as this is a strike in which certain very forces, which are more or less a work everywhere under the conditions of modern industrialism, became startlingly prominent. It is greatly to be wished that the Department of Commerce, and Labor, through the Labor Bureau, should compile and arrange for the Congress a list of the labor laws of the various States, and should be given the means to investigate and report to the Congress upon the labor conditions in the manufacturing and mining regions throughout the country, both as wages, as to hours of labor, as to the labor of women and children, and as to the effect in the various labor centers of immigration from abroad. In this investigation especial attention should be paid to the conditions of child labor and child-labor legislation in the several States. GORPORATION8. GORGORATIONS. When we come to deal with, great corporations the need for the Government to act directly is far greater than in the case of labor, because great corporations can become such, by engaging in commerce, and engaging in commerce is peculiarly the field of the General Government. It is an absurdity to expect to eliminate the abuses in great corporations by State action. It is difficult to be patient with an argument that such matters should be left to the States, because more than one State pursues the policy of creating on easy terms corporations which are never operated within that State at all, but in other States whose laws they ignore. The National Government alone can deal adequately with these great corporations. To try to deal with them in an intemperate, destructive, or demagogic spirit would, in all probability, mean that nothing whatever were accomplished it would be of a harmful nature. The American people need to continue to show the very qualities that they have shown—that is, moderation, good sense, the earnest desire to avoid doing any damage, and yet the quiet determination to proceed, step by step, without halt and without hurry, in eliminating or at least in minimizing whatever of mischief or of evil there is to interstate commerce in the conduct of great corporations. They are acting in no spirit of hostility to wealth, either individual or corporate. They are not against the rich man any more than against the poor man. On the contrary, they are friendly alike toward rich man and toward poor man provided only that each acts in a split justice and decency toward his fellow great corporations are necessary, and only men of great and singular mental power can manage such corporation, necessary and such men must have their rewards. But these corporations should be managed with due regard to the interest of the public as a whole. Where this can be done under the present laws it must be done. Where these laws come short others should be enacted to supplement them. AGRICULTURE. The Department of Agriculture has grown into an educational institution with a faculty of two thousand specialists making research into all the sciences of production. The Congress appropriates, directly and indirectly, six millions of dollars annually to carry on this work. It reaches every State and Territory in the Union and the islands o the sea lately come under our flag. Cooperation is had with the State experiment stations, and with many other institutions and individuals. The world is carefully searched for new varieties of grains, fruits, grasses, vegetables, trees, and shrubs, suitable to various localities in our country; and marked benefit to our producers has resulted. PENSIONS. The veterans of the Civil War have a claim upon the nation such as no other body of our citizens possess. The Pension Bureau has never in its history been managed in a more satisfactory manner than is now the case. JAMESTOWN TRI-CENTENNIAL. In 1907 there will be held at Hampton Roads the tricentenial celebration of the settlement at Jamestown, Virginia, with which the history of what has now become the United States really begins. I commend this to your favorable consideration. It is an event of prime historic significance in which all the people of the United States should feel, and should show, great and general interest. POSTAL SERVICE. In the Postoffice Department, the service has increased in efficiency, and conditions as to revenue and expenditure continue satisfactory. The increase of revenue during the year was $9,358,181.10, or 6.9 per cent, the total receipts amounting to $143,382.64.34. The expenditures were $152,262,116.70, an increase of about 9 per cent over the previous year, being thus $8,979,492.36 in excess of the current revenue. Included in these expenditures was a total appropriation of $12,956,632.35 for the continuation and extension of the rural-free-delivery service, which was an increase of $4,902,237.35 over the amount expended for this purpose. In the preceding fiscal year. Large as this expenditure has been the beneficent results attained in extending the free distribution of mails to the residents of rural districts have justified the wisdom of the outlay. Statistics brought down to the 1st of October, 1904, show that on that date there were 27,138 rural routes established. solving approximately 12,000,000 of people in rural districts remote from post offices, and that there were pending at that time 3,859 fountains for the establishment of new rural fountains. Unquestionably some part of the general increase in receipts is due to the increased postal facilities which the rural service has afforded. The revenues have also been added greatly by amendments in the classification of mall matter, and the curtailment of abuses of the second-class mailing privilege. The average increase in the volume of mall matter for the period beginning with 1902 and ending 1905, 1905 (that portion for 1905 being estimated) is 40.47 per cent, as compared with 25.46 per cent for the period immediately preceding, and 15.82 for the four-year period immediately preceding that. CURRENCY. The attention of Congress should be especially given to the currency question, and that the standing committees on the matter in the two Houses charged with the duty, take up the matter of our currency and see whether it is not possible to secure an agreement in the business world for bettering the system; the committees should consider the question of the retirement of the greenbacks and the problem of securing in our currency such elasticity as is consistent with safety. Every silver dollar should be made by law redeemable in gold at the option of the holder. MERCHANT MARINE, I especially commend to your attention the encouragement of our merchant marine by appropriate legislation. ORIENTAL MARKETS. The growing importance of the Orient as a field for Antiocean exports drew from my predecessor, President McKinley, an urgent request for its special consideration by the Congress. In his message of 1898 he stated: "In this relation, as showing the peculiar volume and value of our trade with China and the peculiarly favorable conditions which exist for their expansion in the normal course of trade, I refele to the communication addressed to the Speaker of the House of Representatives by the Secretary of the Treasury on the 14th of last June, with its accompanying letter of the Secretary of State, recommending an appropriation for a commission to study the industrial and commercial conditions in the Chinese Empire, and to report as to the opportunities for and the obstacles to the enlargement of markets in China for the raw products and manufactures of the United States. Action was not taken thereon during the last session. I cordially urge that the recommendation receive at your hands the consideration which its importance and timeliness merit." ALASKA. The message makes a number of suggestions on Alaska, the treatment of the natives and other matters affecting the welfare of the territory. It is also recommended that Alaska be given a delegate in Congress. THE INDIANS. It is-recommended that better treatment be accorded these wards of the nation, and that every encouragement possible he extended them to become more industrious and self-supporting. CONSULAR SERVICE. It is recommended that the consular service be raised to the highest degree of efficiency by selecting men who are familiar with trade conditions and who know something of the language of the country to which they are accredited. CITY OF WASHINGTON. The President recommends that the city be thoroughly cleaned up, so that it be made in fact a perfect American city, free from contagious and evil influences. THE ARMY. Within the last three years the United States has set an example in disarmament where disarmament was proper. By law our Army is fixed at a maximum of one hundred thousand and a minimum of sixty thousand men. When there was insurrection in the Philippines we kept the army at the maximum. Peace came in the Philippines, and now our Army has been reduced to the minimum at which it is possible to keep it with due regard to its efficiency. "The guns now mounted require twenty-eight thousand men, if the coast fortifications are to be adequately manned. Relatively to the Nation, it is not now so large as the police force of New York or Chicago relatively to the population of either city. We need more officers; there are not enough to perform the regular army work. It is very important that the officers of the Army should be accustomed to handle their men in masses, as it is also important that the National. Guard is also important to the field maneuvering, especially in connection with the regulars. For this reason we are to be congratulated upon the success of the field maneuvers in Manassas last fall; maneuvers in a larger number of Regulars and National Guard took part than was ever before assembled together in time of peace. No other civilized nation has, relatively to its population, such a diminutive Army as ours; and while the army is so small we are not to be the excuse if we fall to keep it at a very high grade of proficiency. It must be incessantly practiced; the standard for the enlisted men should be kept very high, when the same time the service should be made as attractive as possible; and the standard for the officers should be kept even higher—which, as regards the upper ranks, can best be done by introducing a system of selection and rejection into the promotions. We shall be able, in the event of some sudden emergency, to put into the field one first-class army corps, which should be, as a whole, at least the equal of any body of troops of like number belonging to any other nation. Great progress has been made in protecting our coasts by adequate fortifications with sufficient guns. We should, however, pay much more heed than at present to the development of an extensive system of floating mines for use in all our more important harbors. These mines have been probed to be a most formidable safeguard against hostile fleets. THE NAVY. On the subject of the navy Mr. Roosevelt declares that it is necessary for us to keep our navy up to the most effective standard, and makes a number of recommendations. THE PHILIPPINES. The Philippine Islands have been brought by the fortunes of war under our control, and we must discharge our obligations to the inhabitants in a becoming manner. In concluding this subject the message says: Every measure taken concerning the islands should be taken primarily with a view to their advantage. We should certainly give them lower tariff rates on their exports to the United States; if this is not done it will be a wrong to extend our shipping laws to them. I earnestly hope for the immediate enactment into law of the legislation now pending to encourage American capital to seek investment in the islands in railroads, in factories, in plantations, and in lumbering and mining.

In the list of presidential appointments sent by the president to the senate Monday for confirmation are several of interest to Georgia, Mrs. Helen D. Longstreet, widow of the late General James Longstreet, is appointed postmaster at Galensville, to succeed Colonel Henry P. Fallow. John R. Barclay is appointed postmaster at Rome; Isaac A. Smith is appointed postmaster at Tennille, and W. T. Edwards is named for the Canton postoffice. George F. White, of Macon, appointed United States marshall for the southern district of Georgia. He succeeds Marshal Barnes, who was removed recently because of a row with Judge Emory Speer. Convicted Slayer of Goebel Given Another Chance for Life The Kentucky court of appeals at Frankfort, Tuesday, reversed the decision of the circuit court in the case of Caleb Powers, now in jail at Louisville under sentence of death for complicity in the murder of William Goebel. This gives Powers a new trial. SUBSCRIPTION RATES. One Year.....$1.25 Two Months.....75 Three Months.....50 Remittance must be made by Express or Post Office Money Order, or Registered Letter. Advertising Rates given on application. ONE of the main purposes of our people should be the making of friends among our white neighbors and retaining that friendship. JUDGE CANN in his charge is to be commended for the stand, he has taken on the race issue. Such gentlemen as he can do much to make conditions more conciliating. GEORGIA, unlike many of the other Southern States, have repeatedly refused to disfranchise its colored voters. For this commendation should be given. We are demanding no special legislation in behalf of our people. We are American citizens and should be dealt with upon that wide plane. Special enactments of laws in our favor will only the more sharpen race prejudice. 'LEGISLATION of any kind will not give to the colored man what he most desires. It requires a sentiment based upon justice. We are thankful that there are a number of our white friends with sufficient backbone to rise against prejudice and make a plea for justice for a people who is the most dooile in the world. In Chatham county there are nearly a thousand colored men, who annually pay their tax,0 many of them on valuable pieces of property. Unfortunately many of these men do not register, and those who do register fail to vote. All of these tax payers should be more patriotic by registering and casting their votes at the proper time. This is supplemented by a demand upon the young men to be patriotic and take advantage of their enfranchisement. NOTWITHSTANDING the action of some sore heads in Georgia, many of whom haven't the best interest of the race at heart; along with other aspirants, Hon. Judson W. Lyons will be reappointed as Register of the Treasury of the United States. The attempt of small bore Negro politicians in this State to defeat him shows plainly how much native loyalty they have, and how well they are playing in the hands of the enemies of the race. The Colored man is a part and parcel of the South. He has assisted in making the South what it is to-day. Many of his number are large property holders and are captains of industry. He is of a class of citizen not inimical to the best interest of this section and country. Thus he is to be counted strongly as a part of the South. The South can not consistently be reckoned without him. It is therefore out of place for the assertion to be made whenever the President recognizes a colored man that it is a stab at the South. In proportion to population the colored man holds but few federal positions, and so far as the several states are concerned he is completely ostracised as positions are concerned. The complaint is made that in federal appointments a large number of them are credited to the south than elsewhere. That can be easily understood. The bulk of the colored people are in the south and generally they are the rank and file of the party in ascendency, hence the recognition that is given them. Now, why should any one kick. Make Roosevelt's Election Unanimous. The following from the Atlanta Evening News, is commended to all parties concerned: Editor Atlanta News: Now that the smoke of battle is over and the dead have all been buried, and the wounded sent to the hospital, the prisoners all paroled; and the campaign ended in complete and perfect defeat, with some of our strong forts in possession of our antagonist, and their forces scattered largely over our territory, is it not time for the southern Democrats to calmly survey the field, consider the situation, and ask, "Where are we at?" In making this survey of the field, and considering the Democratic party, of which the south seems to be its home, and that by a largely decreased vote, the thoughtful mind must come to several conclusions. First, That the south cannot afford to array itself against the north any more than it could in 1865. It is not our desire to do so, as we are parties of this glorious union. Neither is it to our interest to do so. Millions of dollars of northern capital have been invested in the south, and with our broad acres needing cultivation, and with our rich undeveloped mines, water-powers, forest and other possibilities, we wish developed, we wish emigration; we wish capital, and we wish a broader and more extensive field of usefulness. Now, can we have these things by adopting the views of some of our Democratic editors who insist upon making the south an Ireland? In other words to fight the government and to fight the overwhelming sentiment of the whole union? I do not think so. Second, President Roosevelt was very bitterly and unjustly attacked, I think for his course in entertaining Booker Washington. At the time that was done, Democratic politicians and Democratic editors were trying to make a mountain out of a mole-hill, and I wrote an article upon the subject. Booker Washington is the representative of ten millions of people. He had been entertained by the crowned-heads of Europe, and he had been doing a noble work for his people. Now, was it not the duty of the president of the United States, as president of the entire people, of which Booker Washington represented about one-eighth to show him some attention. If Booker Washington had lived in England and been appointed ambassador to the United States, would he not have been received by the president? And so with France, China, and even Hayti, and so on with other countries. Of course he would. Therefore, I think the Democratic politicians and Democratic editors, by antagonizing that incident and giving it undue publicity, were much more responsible in trying to bring on a race question than was the president. Thank God, I and my wife and daughters do not need any laws to prevent social equality with the Negroes. I do not believe in that, and no self-respecting man north or south, believes in it. If the papers and southern politicians had not stirred it up, and given undue prominence to it, I do not know that it would have ever been heard of. Tom Watson showed that President Cleveland had gone equally as far as President Roosevelt. Now, let the south drop the Negro question. Proposition third. The Negro of to-day is quite different from the Negro of 1865, and he is not going to be content to occupy the position of "hawers of wood and drawers of water." He is a citizen of this country and here he is to stay, Bishop Turner, a great leader of the African race, has for years urged upon the Negro that he leave this country and settle in Eiberia. Of course this proposition is thoroughly impracticable. In the first place, the Negro will not go. In the second place, if every Negro in the south was willing and wanted to go, we of the south would not permit them to go, and there would be just as much of a storm raised when they started as when the Jews started to leave Egypt, and Fourth. The south doesn't want them to go. Georgia has laws against emigration agents. "Peg" Williams has been run out of several counties in North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia and Louisiana and other places for trying to carry them away to Mexico and other states. Now let's treat Roosevelt justly, and not damn and denounce him because he has recognized a leading member of the Negro race, whose president he is, just as much as he is ours. The north has said "nu" and therefore we must recognize that fact. Fifth, We might also recognize the fact that our Philippine possessions are part of the United States. I believe that the constitution should follow the flag and I can see no difference between our treatment of the territory we conquered and bought from Mexico, where we made states and territories of them, and that of the Philippines and Porto Rico, which we conquered and bought from Spain, and as we say we hold them as colonies, and that, by the way, was the only difference between the two parties in the last contest. Republicans say we will hold them as colonies, and Democrats say let them go, we give them up. For the third time now, in the elections the country has voted to hold the Philippines, and therefore I think the Democratic party should drop this issue. Sixth. We have demagogued and constantly insisted upon self government, and sought to create the impression that we of the south were the only custodians of that treasure. I suppose Pennsylvania, with half a million majority for Roosevelt, would be just as jealous of local self-government as would be the state of Texas with its 200,000 majority for Parker. So we might as well quit demagoguing upon that question. Seventh. During the campaign I heard much of imperialism, and the impression sought to be created was that President Roosevelt was a ver bad man, and now that the ballo have all been cast, the Democratic paper have suddenly discovered that he is a very popular man. Eighth. Any careful thinker who will take up the Democratic platform of 1886 up to date will see how we have boxed the compass and been upon all sides of the question. We have fought the tariff bitterly, fought the coinage, fought trusts, and yet, when we take up the last platform, we find that, we have not done much of either. What we need in this country are two active, energetic, earnest parties, fighting upon principal, and aside from the Philippine question it would require a Philadelphia lawyer to show much difference in the two platforms as interpreted by the two distinguished candidates for presideut. Now, what is the remedy? As we cannot fight the north with arms as in 1861-1965, for the south has been broken, and as no one wants a solid south against a solid north, I am going to make a very radical suggestion which I know will raise a storm, and that is that now everybody concedes President Roosevelt to be a good man; strong man, and a man of good intentions, that our candidate and our Democratic executive committees request all of their Democratic electors to cast their ballots for President Roosevelt and thereby make his election unanimous, and thereby show to the north that the south is not fighting them and that it is not the purpose of the south, broken as it is, to make a mere factional opposition, but that we recognize the existing status of affairs. After that is done Mr. Editor, I believe that four years from to-day the broken south and the solid north would divide upon new issues—upon economic questions, and that we would have a much better status of affairs than by seeking to keep the broken south, like Ireland, as a protest to the powers that be. I believe that this action would make the south bloom as the rose. Ninth. I am no politician. There is no office I want I always declined political honors. I have never cast any but a democratic vote, but I am a well-wisher of my country in its entirety. I am a well-wisher for the south for which I fought as a boy, when I was subject to no law, and I am a lover of Georgia which honored my father, and in whose sacred soil repose the mortal remains of my loved ones. Now, I honestly believe, as a Democrat, that the best thing for us, the south, to do is for Judge Parker and the Democratic executive committee to request the southern electors to cast their votes for President Roosevelt and make his election unanimous.

She was a handsome woman, who wore diamonds and velvet as a queen wears royal robes; a wealthy woman used to command and control, haughty ani dogmatic In Ler positiveness. And this evening she was in her most positive, imperious mood, ns she sat there making her decision about Theo, Vincent. Then she rang for lights, and by the servant sent a message for Miss Vincent to walt upon her as soon as ‘Master Garnier and Miss Giralda could dispense with her services. It was ten minutes later when Theo obeyed the summons and came into Mrs, Slyvester's -presence—a slender, pale-faced gitl of sixteen or seventeen, with lovely brown, eyes, soft as velvet, and a great.mass of brown halr~a deli- cate, refined, thoughtful looking girl, oho bore Indisputable traces of having worked almost bexond her strength, She came quietly near to.Mrs. Sylves- ter and stood awaiting that Indy’s Pleasure. “I sent to have a word with you on a subject very distasteful to me, indeed, Miss Vincent,” Mrs. Sylvester began, coldly. ‘I refer to a display of for- aardness and boldness on your part to- | ward certain gentlemen I might name whieh has been called to my attention more than once. I desire to say that I shall not tolerate any further attempts on your part, Miss Vincent, to firt with gentlemen visiting at the Louse—notu- bly with Dr. Penniugton— Ab, do not not interrupt me, and I am indignantly sorry to say, my’ son also!” “Mrs. Sylvester, you—” ‘Theo attempted to gasp her protest, but the cold, relentless voice resolutely hushed ber. “Denials are more than useless, Miss Vincent. It 1s a notorious fnct that you, a mere servant, 2 common nursery governess and a seamstress, boldly at- tempted to engross Dr. Peunington’s Attention last night, and one or two evenings last week when you were or- dered to attend the children in the draying room. Again, upon more than one occasion you have inveigled my son into conversation with you—you, whom his mother hires as a servant! ‘Miss Vincent, I have—" ‘Theo was standing there, white and shivering, her eyes full of a herrified mortifeation and insulted pride. “Mrs. Sylvester,” she interrupted, hotly, “I canaot permit you to Jaunch such’ torrent of abuse at me. It js not true that I have tried to flirt with Your guest or your son, Dr. Penning- ton spoke to me and I answered, as any one would have done. As to your son—" And her lps curled—a feature which did not escape Mrs. Slyvester's eyes, “We will not discuss the subject fur- them. You have acted in this matter disgracefully, and in justice to my It- tle innocent children I have-decided to Temove you from their care over them. You are discharged from to-night, and in place of a month’s notice you can have a month's wages—as {s my cus- tou witit all my servants. As to a character,” and the cold eyes took a malicious look at the pale, trembling girl, “of course that Is out of the ques- tion. You are excused, Miss Vincent.” She pushed along 2 roll of bills, but Theo did not touch it. Instead the girl's face grew suddenly gold and haughty, and she walked out without a syllable of further protest, And somehow Mrs. Sylvester realized that she had done something mora than simply discharge a servant. ba “It's a shame—a Durning shame!” ‘Aunt Ibby said, indignantly. “It seems ta me that nowadays the rich do uoth- ing but grind the poor. You poor child, Jou—dop’t ery any more about it! That Sylvester woman fsn’t any very great shakes herself, you take my word for| it, ar she'd not be thinking such things about you. Don't cry, Theo.

Instead she had cried and worried herself into a hof fever that defted all home remedies —a-dever that ran hisher and hotter, until even Aunt Ibby thoucht It was best to send for a doctor, and a doctor was sent for by Ittle Tim Magutfin, next floor above. “And be quick about it, too,” sald ‘Aunt Ibby, slipplog a penny in his grimy hand, “You can run around to Dr. Perry's office in a few minutes, I know, and tell him to come right around.” " “But Dr, Perry wasn't home—out of ieee A ae ce CL = iar eer ee a a Bnd Sr. Callender also not available.

Aud then he went in to find ‘Theo de- Jirions and talkative and entirely wn- conscious, “OF course it is not true,” she said, as he sat down beside the pure white cot. “I never flirted with Mr. Harry Sylvester or Dr, Pennington elther. It wasn't fair of her to turn mé off with- out a character, was It? And Aunt Toby and I are so poor!” And, although he knew there was no recognition in her bright eyes, still bls face flushed. “She is very sick,” he sald, gravely. “I will see Ler again this afternoon, ‘Mrs. Bley.” That‘ was the beginning of thelr friendship, and when, three months later, Theo was ‘sufficiently recovered to accept a situation as travellng com- panjon to a society lady she knew that her inost valued friend In all the world was Dr. Penrington. 1. A perfect afternoon, even for la belle Paris, and Mrs. Sylvester, leaning back int her chair beside the window of her grande salon, thought that lfe in the gay city was the one thing desirable, and would be the one thing most glor- Jouts were it not for her son Harry, For her son, her datling, her chiet pride, for whom nothing In all the world was too good, for whom mar- riageable maidens and shrewd mothers had angled visibly and invisibly, who never. yet had been disappointed or thwarted in all his life, was in a state of desperation and distress that made Mrs, Sylvester wonder, in agitation and dismay, what would be the result of Stall. And “It all” meant that Harry Syl- vester was in love with Mrs. Yan Ren- seller’é charming young friend and companion—Theo Vincent, whom, two years before, Mrs, Sylvester had turued out of doors. “She will not lsten to me,” Harry hgd sald to his mother before he went out that afternoon. “I tell you I must have her answer—her favorable an- swer, too—before another twenty-four hours go over my head, mother. Un- less I get her for my wife I'll shoot myself just as sure as fate. I love her —by George! I never cared so much for anything or anybody before, and it’s only thememory of your cruel freat+ ment of her—the feeling that she thinks you would not sanction an engagement —that keepb us apart.” “You think that?” sald Mrs. Sylves- tei, tremblingly—a little dismayed. “I know it” be answered, hotly. “She is gracious and kind, but Beyond that, I tell you, her just pride restraias her. See here, mother, !f you want to do me a favor—if you don't want to have me brought in dead some time—you will g0 and tell her you want her for your daughter.” And Mrs. Sylvester knew as she looked upon her son’s handséme, hag- gard face, that even if it killed her to humble herself she must do it for his sake. * “It is awfully cruel of sou!” she sala, plteousiy,- and he interrupted, her firmly: “You can take your cholee—Theo Vincent for your daughter,-or — ‘get’ along witboutimer' = ~~" ns “Harry” + : ’ “I mean It.

But then, says Pearson's Weekly, India is a large country, and the ordinary rural carrier will not take precautions. He ingisty on going barefooted and barelegged in regions known to be in- fested with venomous reptiles, and he will calmly He down for a nap in a tiger haunted jungle. Nor can he be induced to arm-himeelf properly. All his forefathers ,catrled, when on xim- ilar errands, was a small spiked stick, and that fs all the true native postman will consent to carry to-day. ‘There are several postoflices in Swit- zerland at a helght of 7000 or more feet; and a letterbox on the very sum- mit of the Languard, from which four collections arc made daily, 13 nearly 10,000 feet above the sea level. Near here, some few years ago, three letter carriers were crushed to death by an avalanche. In an adjacent canton, in the summer of 1863,-a postman fell into a crevasse while crossing a glacier, his tyo fall bags on his back. All efforts t0 recover either the body or the mails were fruitless; but thirty-four years af- terward, in 1897, the glacter cast forth ite prey many miles lower down the valley, and. the long-lost letters were ‘delivered to as many of the addresses ‘as could be traced. Not infrequently, too, these Alpine postmen are attacked by the huge, fierce eagles that soar hungrily above the less frequented passes. Usually the men are able to beat off their feath- ered assailants, but not always. In July, 1899, a postman who carried. the matis on foot between the villages of Sospello and Puget Thenlers was fa- tally mauled by thtee of such birds. Of two men who attempted to avenge bis death, one was killed outright, and an- other injured so severely that his life was for a Jong time in danger. ‘The camel postman of the Sahara Hinterland is another letter carrier who has need of plenty of pluck. The ‘wild tribesmen of the desert look upon him as their natural prey, so that be never knows, when he sets out in the morning, Whether he will reach his des- tination at night. But he trots his eighty miles a day, and regards a stray shot from a lurking “sniper” or an am- push of spearmen as part of the ordin- ary routine incidental to his business. _ In Japan the rural post runner still swings his baskets across his shoul- ders precisely as his ancestors did cen- turies ago. In Formosa also the mails are carrled to’this day by a man on | foot, who jogs along with a paper lan-| tern and an umbrella. Siberia, except along the line of the new ‘railway, has to rely om post sledgeg: and there are towns, and fair sized towns, too, where more than two deliveries a year. would be exceptional. ‘The postmen of the Landes, in south- sestern France, strike across the waste ‘on gigantic stilts, thelr feet a fathom or more abore the ground. In the interlor vf China, except in a few districts, there 1s ro regular letter delivery, and consequently mo post- men. But many of the mandarins and taotals maintain sem{-public services of their own, and keep thelr runners up to the mark by the cimple expedient of beheading laggards.—Youth’s Com- panion. ‘The last craft to get through at the end of the season often gains some- thing of a reputation. Practical rea; sons prevent any’ stoppage until the last moment possible. The longer a vessel runs, the greater the freights earned, and often chances are taken. No boat ever had a more typical and exciting trip than the Hutchinson in the year Just passed. On the evening of November 29 the Hutchinson,#in a high sea and driving snow storm, ran on an. uncharted rock in Lake Supe- rior. The sharp points tore a hole throngh the bottom of the ble vessel. In sudden terrpr some of the ‘firemen and crew made for the small bonts, but were driven back by the captain. Rockets plerced the darkness, and a huge bale of inflammable stuff soaked in kerosene was set flaming at the masthead. Fires were Ighted op the steel decks, and all night long the sig- nals of distress burned. With the notification of the life saving station the Iife savers put off through the win- ter seas, During two days the crew and the Ufe saving men remained ‘upon the ship. In the meantime the underwriters had learned of, the ssteck; and the Hutchinson being abandoned by the owners, Captain Charles Mf. Davis, a lake veteran of seventy, a famous wrecker, was sent to take charge. Wrecking outfits were summoned from the “Soo,” and a work- “ing party engaged. At once the work of jettisoning the cargo began. Six- ‘fmch centrifugal pumps poured water into the holds filled with flaxseed, un- til fourteen inch pumps could suck up the valuable stuff and force it over- board. Fifty thousands bushels, worth $50,000, were pumped into the Jake in thirty-two hours. A wrecking tug then started to pull the Hutchin- son off. but’so viglent a storm came on that, the immedjate breaking up of the ‘vessel seemed nnayoldable. ‘With this spparently inevitable, the crew and the wreckers left her. Be- fore leaving the heavy’anchor was let go. On the,following day, however, with the sybéldence of the tempest the astonlyticd «wretkprs found that the waves, instead .of, destroying the ee ee eee ee Bee eer ‘fice her pride—how she could:conciliate ‘heo Vineont, and yet-give the girl to understand it wgs en‘honor sho, bad come to offer.” She grdered her carriage and dressed in a most elaborate toilet, was driven to Mrs, Van Ranseller’s, where, sur- rounded by all the luxuries of wealth and resinement, Theo Vincent hag bean made not only a confidential friend, but a beloved daughter and choice compan- fon, As Mrs, Van Renseller’s friend so- clety had opened {ts most exclusive doors, and Theo had found herself .a favorite in pleasant social circles, where her personal attractiveness, her sweet winsomeness, her refined intelll- gence, held the position given her. And Harold Sylvester had renewed his acquaintance with his mother's ‘discharged governess, and— This was the result—Mrs. Sylvester waiting in Mrs. Van Renseller’s parlor for Theo Vincent to come, with whom she was to plead in her son's behalf. It seemed like some impossible bur- lesque ae she waited, and there was a sharp struggle within her between pride and love for her san—that idol and dar- ing who never had been denied, and who tuted her with a rod of iron, Sho humbled herself for his sake; only, solely for his sake. And then Theo Vincent came in, a vision of elegance and loveliness and sweetness, in her soft, white dress. She greeted Mrs, Slyvester in a cour- teous way, and then waited inqutringly, and perhaps just a trifle haughtily. Atid Mrs, Slyvester rushed at once; into her errand. ~ “No doubt you will he quite surprised to receive a message of which I am dearer, because usually such messages are delivered personally, fis Vincent, But as I am willing to remove any obs stacles from the way to my son's hap- piness I determined that in no better way could the accomplishment of his wishes bé decided than by my coming in a perfectly friendly way to you.” She certainly had not sacrificed her digolty, and certatnly had spoken very, well, And Theo, her face expressive of sur- prise, listened, then replied: “I think I do not at all understand you, Mrs, Sylvester. You have'evident- ly undertaken somé commission for your son, but what, might J inquire?” This from the girl she had disgraced? But she put the curb on herself and went blandly on for her son’s sake. “Your delicacy certaiily does you credit. I cannot express how delight- fully charming I find tt, my dear Miss Vincent. Yes, I am commissioned by my son to make you an offer of his hand, his riame, his position, his afte tions. And, Miss Vincent; if you wit charitably permit ‘me, I cordially In- dorse whatever will conduce to Har- old's happiness.” And for the first time in her life Mrs. Sylvester realized that she had eaten humble'ple, A curious look swept over Theo's face. “Will you tell Mr. Sylvester, for me, please, that in the soclety in which I move it Is not customary for gentle- men to do their proposals of marriage by proxy. Will you also be kind evough to tell him that under any cir- cumstances I could not possibly con~ sider his offer? And will you inform him that I have been engaged to -Dr. Clyde Pennington for the past three months? And, as Mrs. Van Reneellers carriage 1s walting, and I have an en- gagement at half-past, 5 o'clock, be 20 good as to excuse me, Mfrs, Sylvester.” And so Theo's turn came, and Jike a young duchess, she bowed to the wom- an who bad, all unconsciously, been her fate. While Mrs. Sylvester went back to her son, Bot 9s, a year afterward, Mrs. Dr. Penhington, sitting in her luxurious parlor on Fifth avenue, read aloud to Auat Ibby the notice of Harold Sylres- ter's marriage, it was self-evident he did not commit the sufeide he threat- ened — unless, rushing into marriage | with a pretty girl after a month's ac | quaintance be considered as such. —Sat- urday Night. ‘The Sense of Smell in the Horse. Evidently the sense of smell, the scent, in the horse is not as well known or ‘appreciated as it should be by thelr owners and drivers. ‘This sense 1s claimed to be gs accu- rate in some horses as it' is in the dog; and for those who haye to drive at night, such as physiclaus, a knowledge of this fact is likely to prove valuable. One who has ridden hundreds of miles on dark nights says be-has never known this power to fuil. He conse- quently advises that the horse “be not checked in traveling at night. Give the horse a free head then, and one may rest assured that he will never go wrong.” This ts not praising the horse too highly, though it is quite probable that What thus appears is due quite as much to the splendid eyes of the noble animal as it is to the quality named.

So closely did the ladder sling to the smooth surface of the steel that it seemed almost impossible to get the fingers between the rungs and the pier. “Those steps were intended to be used only under the most pressing cir- cumstances,” continued the engineer, “and only then with great care. “Yet the men would leap for the ladder from @ platform about three feet away, snatch at a rung and climb up rather thaa use a safe and guarded scaffold ing erected for the express purpose only a few yards away. Warning notices were postéd that any one did it would be discharged, yet the very day the decree went forth a man Jumped for the ladder. He struck the side of the steps with bis head and was dashed to the ground. Of course he was killed instantly. “That stopped the ladder elimbihg, but the men still do all sorts of reck- less things. For instance, they climb out on a narrow beam projecting over the river from the very top of the structure, and stand there on one leg to be photugraphed. “Not Jong ago one of our foremen found a man taking an after dinner Aap on a girder at a height equal to that of a twenty-story building. ‘The sird- er was just wide enough for him to lle on, and there was nothing but air be- tween him and the ground.

In 1874 I was traveling in the Aus- trallan bush—New South Wales—when I came across a respectable old man, oyer sixty years of age, who tolé me an extraordinary story. He’ said his name‘was Edmund Galley. He and a man named Oliver were tried at Exe- ter In 1896 for the murder of a yeoman farmer named May, on July 16, 1835. ‘They were both convicted and sen- tenced to be executed. Oliver, in the dock, turned to the Judge and said: “This man, Galley, {9 quite innocent.” Mr. Cockburn, afterward Lord Chiet Justice, who defended Galley, and a shorthand reporter, who was aiso pres- ent at the trial, made such strenuous efforts that Galley’s sentence of death was not carried out, but he was trans- ported to New South Wales, where he arrlyed in 1839, Ollver was executed. Many years afterward, a man named John Longley, on-his deathbed, con- fessed that he and Oliver were the murderers of May, and Galley was in- nocent. * A number of people, and I among them, wrote to my fine old friend, Sit Eardiey Wilmot, M. P., who took up the case and presented it to the House of Commons in a simple, clear and ef- fective manner. Galley did not like tovmarry until he'recelved a free par- don. The, proceedings im the House of Commons are fully reported in Han- sard, especially the great speech of John Bright. After an exciting de- bate, it was resolved to recommend the Queen to grant a free pardon to Galley, which was accordingly given in 1879, forty-three years after the con- vietion of this poor old Australian shepherd—J: H.

The best method to: soften any water is by using a little pure borax, four teaspoonfuls to a half a tub of water. The borax water will not only render water more cleans~ ing, but actually contains properties ‘that-are stimulating to the skin, and so, beneficial to the circulation. If there {s no tub in the house, there the cold bath must be a sponge- Add one teaspoonful of borax to a pail of cold water, rub dry as the bath pro- gresges and use the alcool over chest and throat. s Where the cold plunge is found a lt- tle too severe at the start, it ix- good. to begin by standing at the edge ‘of the tub, splasbing the water over the neck and arme, drying the upper, part_ of the body and then to plunge in one Jeg atatime.

And all day long buttons Keep rolling off, (figuratively,.I has- ten to add) until by night, perhaps, there is not a single one left, aud my determination, detached, has slipped off, - I go out alone at twilight for a | thoughtful walk. Success germs are "literally swarming all over me. I say to myself, softly, “I will szecced! Others have, so will I!" Again the hand clinches and scmetbing within me swells, “I will! I say again to the sunset, aid then to some fancied / obstacle, “You shall not daunt me!” In such a tone that any but the rudest obstacle would surely scuttle scared away. ‘| My idea of success is rather dim, Dut st puffs me up and makes me feel airy and apart from the world.

I will per- severe without ceasing; I will make - Sactifices to my work, worship always at its shrine; and then I will do things that shall make the world stop in its course and wonder.” - Ong thing rankles a little. Always in the biographies there were pretty tales of the hero’s determination, Poverty bound though his youth was, t6 go to college; and just as-sure as his path was littered with difficulties, 0 sure was he to trample them down “and pass on triamphantly to the open ~@oors of the college. Now, I, in my Nery young days, hugged to myself a Gream of college life. It pillowed me to sléep many a night. Not that there seemed the slightest probability of its fnldliment, indeed there was every ‘Feason to suppose it could not possibly come to pass, but what mattered that to my dream? (Indeed, warid a dream 2 a dream. all pumpet op with pro- babliity?) So I cherished it none the Jess and felt perfectly certain that I could not possibly be cheated of my rightful heritage. I saw pleading philanthropists trooping forward to ‘help in such a good cause. But the day of graduation came to hand and the expected philanthropists had for- gotten thelr cue and failed-to appear upon the stage of my well ordered freams, The stupid problem of york ‘presented Itself to me with the same harshness that it would to any ordi- nary ‘non-heroine being, It was my unmistakable part fo pitch iu and belp the family finances—it might sound “well In books and biographies, but in real life It was prosaic, deadly dull— and Inevitable, Of course, I might bave chucked duty, borrowed money of some abundantly provided friend and gone, on to colleze, leaving the family to shoo the wolf away without my help. - And I adwit th:pif [ had been truly - great I could have managed to get my college education and still have kept the family going with the proceeds of chocolate fudge or Welsh rarebit con- cocted at odd hours for classmates.

But it could be ouly a ‘little while, I thoughi, before some brillant future would open up to me. I worked. hard, so hard that sometimes there came tears of bitterness that blurred the magnifying glasses for a moment. * It was work so distasteful, so unlike ee ee Ene. pane De.

With perhaps a ‘small feeling of pride in the self -sacrifee; I gave up my friends and frivolitles and stuck to my work. , To-be sure, all my efforts were not ‘without the reward. ‘The monthly stipend grew somewhat stouter, re sponsibilities were added to me, and eccasloual compliments hegan, to drift my way from the editor's desk. My position was changed until, atter three years, I began in a tiny way to be Somebody. “Kind friends, sweet frlends,” began to meet me with pleas- ant words on my “svonderful. success,” and dear old ladies congratulate By mother on her daughter's “brillian career,” until her head was quite turned. I admit I felt at times 2 bit puffed up with importance, but in the noon glare of my consciousness I had to hide a smile at the absurdity of it all; for I knew in my dream-filled heart that this they called success was not even a, faint shadowing of what I nd deterinined on. I tried to write ‘now and then things that my best’ fancy dictated, and though there were words of praise from a scattered few, I knew that the callous editor read ‘them not at all, or, if he aid, probably commented, “pretty good rot, I guess, if, anybody likes that kind of stuff.” Four years, five years have gone and the horizon fs still far, far away and a Uttle clouds; the brilliant” future, it seems, I under lock and Fate appears to have mislafd the key. I stop a bit and look about me. I have never loosened my grasp for a moment on the dream of stecess, Indeed I have‘fed it fatter all the time and have worked toward it always; but so far as re- sults go, I seem Just as many leagues away from that future.

And now, taking a pause to Jook about me, I sit Tight down in the mfddle of the road— the same that I have been traveling at such a furlous pace, seeming to get nowhere in particular—and ponder a little. Could they have been wrong, all those biographies, or Is ‘it that I am all wrong? With such perfect unquimity they told the same story, only the names and dates varying.

The problem has been colved in the cities of London, Westminster and Paris, and perhaps in others, by wash- ing the streets in the early morning and sweeping them afterward if nec- essary, This insures the removal of the dust without playing at the eternal Sisyphus-like task of stirring up over and over again the same dust particles, a sort of “scavenger’s labor lost.” With regard to country roads, the plan of applying a chemical substance greedy of water, such as calclum chloride, to the roadway has been tried with ad- ‘vantage. “Westrumite,” a combina- ee contiining this substance, has been used in many places with success so far as bleyeles and motors are con- cerned.

The maker of scents believed that a discharged employe had set fire to the building, but it was shown that the fire was due to the evaporation of a high spirit fn a room in which a small laboratory gas stove had been left burning. * In all manufacturing establishments a frequent cause of fires Is the robbing of leather belting against the edges of the aperture through which it passes frém floor to floor. In a fancy goods house a large trot yault was blown open by some force generated within and there issued a sheet of flame. Nobody had been in the vault for at least twelve hours. The steel box was filled with paper dolls, between each pair of which there was a film of cellulold. A three-inch steam pipe was placed against the rear of the vault, and the heat it gave out liad rafsed the temperature to suck 2 degree that the cellulotd had taken fire. Gun cotton is one of the component parts of celluloid films and the explo- sion was the natural result of a comb!- nation of the gun cotton and high tem- perature. One of the most stubborn tires*which ever visited St. Louls bad its origin in a plate glass window. The pane concentrated the heat of the Au- gust sun upon a celluloid comb. The comb blazed and sputtered and soon other samples of cellulo{d which were Around it were.on fire. The flames com- municated to the remainder of a stock of inflammable merchandise. ‘The overwhelming fondness of mice for sulphur has been the cause of many fires. A fireman told the writer that he had in several cases seen nests of matches which the rats and the mice had made between the floors of build- ings, It fs no unusual thing to find that rodents have lined thelr abodes swith the brimstone anointed sticks. The mice and rats will steal an old-fash- foned sulphur match whenever they get an opportunity aud take ft, away to chew at thelr leisure. ‘The gnawing process results in the igniting of the matches, and there follows a snyste- rious and suspicious fire. ‘The rodent regards paraffin as 2 choice delleacy.

A Ilttle extra heat or a draught of air may fan a flame from the carbonized wood. Another ‘cause of conflagrations is the carelessness of carperters, From time immemorable it has been a habit of the trade’to sweep the shavings in between the Jolsts of floors. If either the wire or the shavings were properly insulated there Would be no trouble. But In one was or another the wire is exposed and communtcates.a spark to the shavings which may be lying near It. The sparks may smolder for days, and then, in the dead of night, there comes a cry of “Fire!” FIRE TRAPS OF. THE RICH. ‘The houses of the wealthy, even in these-days of fireproof construction, are often greater fire traps than the meanest tenements, The.fiues in the abodes of wealth and luxury are often defective. In many cases only the width of a brick intervenes between in- tense heat amt highly varnished a3d inflammable cabinet work. Rich hang- ings and upholstered furniture give the food upon which the fire feeds. Defec- tive electric wiring has many- sins to answer for in these days. Electricians who are supposed to be competent will cross wires and violate nearly every principle of common sense and eleciti- cal sclence. Some of them lead strands of wire through wooden boxes, which, In the event of fire, become roaring flues. Some of the most destructive fires known in the large cities have been due to carelessness in placing the wires for electric lighting.

Frequently she leaves the damp clothes hanging in the kitchen neat the stove. The garments ary out during the night, and becoming lighter are easily blown against the stove by draughts of air. They take fire and before many minutes the whole kitchen is in flames, Frequent recommendations have been made by the eblefs of elty fire depart- ments that the swinging gas bracket be abolished by law. Whenever the au- thoritfes get 2 chance they order such brackets to be removed or made sta- tlonary. Hundreds of fires hate been caused by the carelessness of persons who left these swinging brackets in such a position that the flame could come in contnet with lace curtains. With a special reference apparently to causing as many fires as possible the gasftter too frequently puts a swing- ing bracket where he knows the house- keeper will wish to bang a tace curtain, ‘The combination of curtain and brack- et is often fatal. . One of the most active causes of fires $s the mantel decoration. In many homes a silken scarf is hung from the mantel itself. - Whenever there is a fire in the grate there Is danger of the flimsy searf_taking fire. In tenement houses small stoves are often placed before thle mantel. The mantel shelves are none the less duly decorated with yards of embroidered and tinseled cloth; in many cases this decoration has caught fire from the stove, fallen to the floor and ignited fat soaked cat- pet or matting. In some houses there are wardrobes and clothes closets near the chimneys.

Comparatively innocent sub- stances in themselves may come in con- tact and generate heat sufiictent to start a Itvely blaze. One of the Atlan- tle freighters came to port recently, with a cargo composed of crude chemi- cals and cotton, ‘There had been an ex- plosion of acids and a fire. It seemed Impossible to check the flames, which had communicated to the cotton. ‘The fire, however, generated heat sufficient to liberate the chlorine from a quantity, of bleaching powder. Tlie chlorine ma- terinlly aided in keeping the fire in check, although its suffocating fumes nearly caused the death of some of the saflors who went Into the hold to fight the flames. In the storage of all.kinds of mate- rials too much care cannot be exer- clsed. The fact must be taken into con- sideration that where alr does not clr- culate the chances of fire are greatly increased. The observance of the sim- ple rules laid down by fire departments ‘would frequently obviate the necessity, of investigating the origin of myster- fous fires.

New Carbon Compound. ‘At a recent meeting of the Academy, of Sciences of France, held at Paris, Mf. Henri Moissan presented a paper con- cerning the preparation and charac- teristics of a new carbon compound containing molybdeaum, This con- ‘pound és obtained by heating charccal with melted molybdenum and alum- inum in an electric furnacé. The re- sultant metallic mass is treated with 2 concentrated solution of potash, and needles of well defined crystals of the new carbon compound are obtained. ‘The substance: is very hard, is hard- Jy attacked by acids other than nitric, and {s not decomposed by water or steam ata teliberatuce below 600 de- grees C. Iteresembles the carburet of tragsten, already known, which is not considered surprising, as the met- ale tungsten and molybdenum are much alike. It is thought that this new, compound may rlay a role in molyb- ‘denum steels. "The method cf preparation shows that even at a rather high temperature (that of bolliag aluminum): 2 motyb- dennm compound is obtained whick contains twice as much carbon as the compounds formed at the bighest heat obtainable in the electric “fornace— United States Consul Covert, Lyong France.

One writer has traced this tendency to one of ..3 sources by pointing olt that frequent: ly it 1s the parents who are spoiled: He says: “{ndifferent and easeloving fatters, weak and vacillating mothers, one mo ment will scold and punish; and the next coddle acd pity thelr chtlaren, with the result that the children, with thelr wonderful puwers of observation and imitation treat the desires and feelings of thelr parent with corre sponding contempt.” Good parents are few and far be tween, and that {5 because the quall. ties of firmness, self restraint, and wisdom, so need‘ul ir: family training, are so rare among ren and women.— London Christian.

As an illustration—anyone, no matter how weak the stomach, can eat, relish and digest a nice hot cup of Postum coffee with a spoonful or two of Grape- Nats poured in, and such a combina- tion contains nourishment to carry one a number of hours, for almost every particle of it wilt be digested and taken up by the system and be made use of. a A.lady writes from the land of the Magnolia and the mocking bird way down In Alabama and says: “I was led to drink Postum because coffee gave me sour stomach and made me nervous. Again Postum was recom- mended by two well Known phiysiclans for my children, and I feel especially gtateful for the benefit derived. “Milk does not agreé with elther child, so to the eldest, aged four and one-half years, I give Postum with plenty of sweet cream. It agrees with her splendidly, regulating ‘her bowels perfectly, although she is of 2 constl- pated habit. " “For the youngest, aged two and one- half years, I use one-half Postum and one-half skimmed milk. I have not given any medicine slnce the chiktren began nsing Postum, and they enjoy every drop of it. “A nelghbor of mine 4s giving Pos- tum to her baby lately weaned, with splendid results.
